A/N: Jsiebert deserves credit for this chapter…I had every intention of ending it all together and now… well, how can I when the ideas are flowing? So thank you, Jsiebert.

You readers are going to LOVE this. :D

"Do we go to a registry office or…?" Booth asked Brenan as they stood awkwardly in her office.

Brennan had wanted to go over some files, and had left Kali with Angela for a few hours while she caught up on the work she had missed, because her time had been on both Kali and Booth. Booth was limited to the time he was allowed to spend at the Jeffersonian, while he was out on bail.

"I think that would be the logical thing to do," she responded.

"So, we are really going to do this?" he questioned.

"Yes, Booth, I think it's the best thing for the situation."

He nodded.

Brennan turned to Booth and frowned. "I need some space… would you mind-"

He nodded instantly understanding what she wanted. She was busy. She had things to do and thoughts to process. Booth took his leave. Brennan was fiddling around with paperwork when Angela waltzed into the office, mumbling something about Hodgins getting jealous about the men that stared at her.

"I can't help it…" she muttered. "I don't look at them. When is he going to realize that I only want him?"

"Angela," Brenan warned. "I'm busy, and my concentration span is short, do you need me to stop and listen or can this wait? Do you want to talk?"

Angela sighed. "Nuh," she waved her hand in the air like it was all moot point. "It's fine. What are doing?"

"Paperwork," she replied. "Where's Kali?"

"Hodgins is playing with her. You look stressed," Angela noted.

"I have a lot on my mind."

"Wanna share?"

Brennan stopped and looked up. "This case involving Booth being charged, I just… I don't think we have many options and so… Booth and I have come up with the conclusion that marriage would do the case justice."

"Marriage?" she frowned not understanding.

"Yes. Booth and I are going to-"

Angela's mouth formed an O shape and her eyes widened in shock. "You and… Booth… are- are getting… are getting married?" the words seemed to come out in a long choke.

"Yes," she nodded firmly. "It seems like the rational thing to do."

"Rational?" Angela snapped. "You and Booth getting married!"

"Yes, Angela," Brennan didn't bother hiding her annoyance at the repeat of the dialogue. "The government cannot force a spouse to testify and I have been informed by a letter, that if I don't comply I will be arrested and charged. If I testified against Booth, it would not do well for his case, and I could be tried as an accomplice."

Angela leaned against the wall in utter shock, as she absorbed the words.

"Wow…" she spoke after a moment of silence. A small crossed her face and her energy seemed to come back as she stood up straight. "A wedding! I think this is a cause for celebration…"

"Uh… no," Brennan rejected.

"Why not?"

"Because this is not what Booth and I agreed on. It's a business arrangement."

Angela scoffed. "Horse-feathers. You are marrying Booth, sweetie, BOOTH, the man that you claim to care about… the man you would do ANYTHING for, come on, Bren… marrying the man you love you-"

"That's not what this is about," she denied.

Angela sighed heavily watching her closely "You really believe that, don't you?"

Brennan shrugged, unsure what to say.

"Well, tough!"

"What?"

"I said, tough! I don't care what you try and tell me about your feelings for this man, I know better. I know you. I know you love him, and I know that scares you… it makes you wanna run, and it makes you rationalize every thought and emotion you're feeling. But you don't have to." Angela walked to the door, and stopped to turn back. "And don't think I'm letting you get married in a registry office, either."

"I don't know what that means," she said.

"You will…" Angela called as she walked away.

Brennan could only frown.

I can only guess how wide the smile on your face is, right now?

Next chapter coming soon… if anyone has anything they think would be perfect-character-input for the wedding, PLEASE leave me a review and let me know, and if not STILL leave me a review. :D
